This was awesome! I'm holding out for Tesring though, that angst is what I play these games for! Though I couldn't not flirt with Zhir lol Thanks so much for this! Eagerly awaiting more :D
By the way. Link to the blog is too close to the back button. I noticed that on a lot of the 13 league IF's. This is especially a problem if on a tablet etc as it's way to easy to misclick/tap. (Unfortunately I don't have a working computer right now or I'd play it there. But I figure you should know about the issue. Otherwise can play it fine on an android tablet)
oh thats fair!! i was asking because itch.io games and patreon are very expensive for me due to the dollar conversion in my country, so the steam country conversion helps alot
No way. GB Patch has well-written, likeable love interests. 13Leagues makes you wait until like... the last two chapters or the last half of the final book until their love interests are even tolerable.
I don't like being compared to another writer period, but you can also leave me and my intolerable LI's and stories alone too lmfao. Go replay your favorite books and find happiness away from here. No one invited you hun. I am an entirely different style of writer with darker themes and this is not a fluff book.
I love this. I love everything about it. I love your narrative voice, I love your characters, I love the setting. I love my sweet, smart, wonderful, amazing alien dog. I love that I can be a kind-hearted badass, and I can be nice to my friends without automatically romancing them, as is the case in quite a few other IFs and VNs I have come across. (I like being nice to people. Doesn't mean I want in their pants. Unless they're Tsering.)
I also really like imagining that Tsering goes about his business constantly trying not to think about me. And failing so hard. Every day. All the time. Everything reminds him of me. Goddd I want to make him SUFFER but I also want to give him SO many hugs.
I felt inclined to comment after finishing the public demo last night,
I got here after finishing the first 2 seasons of Superstition and playing Nour's route on the throne of ashes,
as always, I was not disappointed with your games,
I'm a big fan of a future techno world setting and you set out this world perfectly, all the backstory fragments carefully placed to build the character and their life all the while introducing new characters (with beautiful illustrations for each species!!)
I hope to see more in the future, amazing job as usual :]
13leagues, I have loved all the fantastical games you've made.
I love just how interactive your stories are, with the ways the worlds shift around the player's wide selection of choices instead of making them another bystander. Not to mention the various characters and their relationships with everyone, including the player, that successfully manage to be unique, separate, and likable in their own ways.
I always find myself engrossed by your soft magic (and tech now, nice!) systems that don't exclude the player from their possibilities while fitting right in with the narratives.
I have yet to find any writer (excluding RynGM), or, frankly, any game developer, that can keep me as excited or enthralled as you have.
As I have no idea where to find consistent updates for your games on a platform known for its numerous abandoned projects, and given their seemingly erratic development, I am concerned for their future. I don't know if this concern is unnecessary and that there are indeed steady updates one can read, and if so, I would love to be pointed in their direction. If not, would it be too much to ask for a monthly sit-rep?
I can wait years for all of these awesome tales, but I just need to know that they're coming.
Hello! Thank you for the kind word, reading things like this push me to continue on even more, truly. You are right, I do not post updates on itch.io as much because of the format but both Patreon and Tumblr (both links in the story description) have me giving updates. Tumblr, having a Story Updates pin post that tells you what is canceled and what is not. Sea of Stars, Throne of Ashes, and Superstition are the main focuses as of this moment but I do have a sporadic kind of updating process, but I can assure you nothing is dead and I am still hard at work.
As a person that truly enjoyed the superstition series so far and throne of ashes, I'm excited to try this demo out! But knowing 13leagues it's going to be great! I Wish you luck on further development!
here i am. clawing my way out of real life/hell. scrabbling across the ground like a roach to log into itch.io so i can devour this content like a starving beast.
Your works are always out of this world and every time you write something I am so happy and excited to read it. Thank you very much, you made my evening after a long and gloomy day ❤
I absolutely love this game. So far I have only played a character with evil tendencies but I was impressed how cohesive it all felt in the grand scheme of things. I was not punished for my decision, but rather given different opportunities to exploit. By the end of the demo, I felt both immersed and a force to be reckoned with.
My character was not above ending lives or using others to further her own goals if the benefits outweighed the cons. She's not destructive for the sake of it, but values her own survival above most - a useful, if somewhat callous, trait she inherited from her tumultuous past. Currently, her hound is the only friend she would fight to the bitter end to protect. Time will tell if the same courtesy will extend to her new allies...
Beneath the mask she dons, rages turmoil between what has been done and what needs to be done in order to achieve her goals. She dreams of normalcy and innocence - that which was robbed from her - and is envious of those who have it. She's rational, confident and flirty, with a dash of mirth. She's dangerous, but more than mere cockiness, she has the skill to back it up.
--------------------------------------------
I only have one small thing to point out. Seben's portrait describes her as someone with "no sense of humor" and "playful" at the same time. Doesn't that seem a bit contradicting?
Your story never disappoint. I put off reading this (saw it on patreon for ages) because Alien and Sci-fi aren't really my thing. But damn, you really changed my mind! Thank you for being born and blessed us with these amazing works. 🪄✨️
When Neo called my character ugly I literally burst out laughing, haha. There's so much great content here! And personally I cannot wait to follow this series further into development. Congratulations on the latest addition to your collection of golden creativity!

Anyways nice story. Look forward to seeing more
will the game be on steam? played the demo and i am so excited for the full book!!
There's no definitive yes or no. I would have to justify the cost of adding it to Steam so it mostly would depend on interest.
oh thats fair!! i was asking because itch.io games and patreon are very expensive for me due to the dollar conversion in my country, so the steam country conversion helps alot
Ive never heard of GB patch. What games from them would you rec?
Our Life: Beginnings and Always and the new one that is being worked on, Our Life: Now and Forever
No way. GB Patch has well-written, likeable love interests. 13Leagues makes you wait until like... the last two chapters or the last half of the final book until their love interests are even tolerable.

were you born stupid or did you take lessons
why are you even here then if you dont like their writing style
Just finished the demo. Good work! A lot of thought and world building clearly went into this.
Tsering haunts my dreams.
I love this. I love everything about it. I love your narrative voice, I love your characters, I love the setting. I love my sweet, smart, wonderful, amazing alien dog.

I also really want to introduce him to my dog.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this come across my feed and man was I not disappointed. I'm excited to see where the series goes :)
